Meet the Next Governor

We tend to be one-issue voters here at The Roll-Up: Are you for legalization, or against it? Steve Sisolak, the current chair of the Clark County Commission, is running for Nevada governor and he’s all for legal, well-regulated cannabis.
He sees it as a great job-creating industry, and he’s confident his state can regulate it better than any other. (See under: gaming, experience, lots of it.)
His opponent, current Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, was against adult-use legalization in 2016 and has barely lifted a finger to defend it against Jeff Sessions in the past two years.
